Property Lawyers in Paralimni – Cypriot Wills – Review – Probate Laws – Completed on 22^nd July 2010. Paralimni Property Lawyers

We as practicing Property Lawyers based in Paralimni Cyprus, always stress how important it is to make sure you have made your ‘Cyprus Will’, so that your assets are inherited by your loved ones, how you decide and not how the state decides.

The issue now appears to be that those wishing to leave instructions for their funeral arrangements are actually wasting their time and wishes are not being heard.   After a person passes away the family maybe not be aware that there is a ‘Will’ and go ahead with funeral arrangements anyway.

The wishes for the division or beneficiaries of immovable assets in Cyprus are legal binding, however, the wishes for funeral arrangements are not, for exactly the reason stated above.

It is vital to inform your family and friends that your ‘Cyprus Will’ has been deposited at the address of your chosen Cyprus Lawyers, who dealt with the ‘Will’.  Also leave a copy of your ‘Cyprus Will’ in a place where you feel your family will find it on your passing so that.

It was reported that disputes have arisen in a court of law where there executors and family have fought for the division of the deceased ashes. This, we feel is sacrilegious and we strongly suggest you speak with your family and clearly state in your ‘Cyprus Will’ that you wish your ashes to remain together so that you may rest in peace.

It is really important to have your ‘Cyprus Will’ prepared and executed by a responsible person who you feel will act completely responsible and will do you justice as well as your family.

It is equally important if you feel strongly about your funeral arrangements, to speak to your family and friends about this. Maybe take your funeral into your own hands and prepare the arrangements yourself which is very common these days as not do you get your wishes it saves your family all the heartache.

There has also been a change in law to the perpetuity period that a beneficiary can claim income from a property tied up in trust. If you feel this effects you, then talk to our specialized probate lawyers today.  Our expert lawyers will tell you all you need to know about Cyprus Probate Law and Trusts and Cyprus Wills.
